本发明的实施方式
为了更清楚地说明本申请实施例或现有技术中的技术方案，下面将对照附图说明本申请的具体实施方式。显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些实施例，对于本领域普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下，还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图，并获得其他的实施方式。
基于本申请，所属领域的技术人员应了解，本文中所描述的一个方面可与任何其它方面独立地实施，且可以各种方式组合这些方面中的两者或两者以上。举例来说，可使用本文中所阐述的任何数目和方面来实施设备及/或实践方法。 另外，可使用除了本文中所阐述的方面中的一或多者之外的其它结构及/或功能性实施此设备及/或实践此方法。

在半导体生产设备厂设置有用于存放FOUP的存储柜(Stocker)，在存储柜中的货架上的各阁位用于存储多个晶圆传送盒(FOUP)。在通过传送设备进行传输过程中，为将各晶圆传送盒传送到目的位，由于每个晶圆传送盒(FOUP)都有自己的属性和优先级，而且在不同生产工艺阶段需要的FOUP属性会随工艺进行而发生变化，因此，需要对各类型的晶圆传送盒进行管理，保证其位于与工艺对应最近的操作台上，完成各工艺的加工；同时进一步保证在输送过程中同一输送线中的FOUP的优先级会发生变更时，可以及时对输送路径等进行调整并平衡每个仓库存储各FOUP的数量。
目前相关技术无法及时对输送路径等进行调整，或是很好地实现FOUP的平衡，或是当FOUP的属性发生变化时，可以及时将FOUP存储在与工艺对应的操作台上。
本申请部分实施例的目的在于提供一种分区管理方法、装置、计算机设备和存储介质，克服上述现有技术的缺点。

在其中一个实施例中，所述根据所述移交晶圆盒清单信息移交所述目标存储仓和所述临时存储仓中的晶圆盒，并在所述预设时间段内将所述目标晶圆盒运输到所述目标存储仓内，包括：基于所述移交晶圆盒清单，将所述目标存储仓和所述临时存储仓中的第一批移交晶圆盒在所述预设时间段前进行移交存储；在所述预设时间段内将所述目标晶圆盒运输到所述目标存储仓内；基于所 述移交晶圆盒清单，将所述目标存储仓和所述临时存储仓中的第二批移交晶圆盒在所述预设时间段后进行移交存储，实现所述目标存储仓和所述临时存储仓中存储晶圆盒的复位。
本申请还提供了一种分区管理装置，所述装置包括：请求接收模块，用于接收晶圆盒运输请求，所述晶圆盒运输请求携带有目标晶圆盒的属性信息、当前存储仓信息、目标存储仓信息以及所述目标晶圆盒输送至目标存储仓的预设时间段；存储信息获取模块，用于根据所述属性信息获取所述目标存储仓的目标状态信息，所述目标状态信息包含所述目标存储仓的物理区域的存储信息；区域判断模块，用于根据所述属性信息和所述目标状态信息判断在所述预设时间段内所述目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域；区域信息获取模块，用于当判定为否时，获取与所述目标存储仓的区域设置信息以及各设置区域内的区域存储信息；区域重设模块，用于根据所述区域设置信息和所述区域存储信息重新进行区域设置，并在所述预设时间段内将所述目标晶圆盒运输到所述目标存储仓内。

与相关技术相比，本申请的优点在于：本申请中通过对FOUP属性的识别可以获取其优先级，根据属性优先级确定FOUP的位置信息，保证FOUP中的晶圆可以实现就近工艺加工，进一步缩短工时，提高了生产效率。
晶圆对应的处理工艺平衡目标存储仓中存储的晶圆盒情况，并当输送线上输送过来的FOUP的属性发生变化时，可以及时变更输送存储仓，不仅保证晶圆盒输送的准确性，而且也保证晶圆盒可以被存储在对应的工作台附近的存储仓中，避免使FOUP处于等待，而影响工艺流程。
以下结合各附图，说明本申请各实施例提供的技术方案。
在半导体的晶圆厂中，每个FOUP都有自己的属性和优先级，所以在FOUP进行传输过程中，需要对FOUP进行优先级的设置，并根据其FOUP优先级以 及属性来平衡调整具体的放置仓位。此外，当仓位装满时，将很难控制放置空间，目前缺少应急处理预案，以及合理调配的方案，为解决当前存在的问题，对待存储的FOUP进行分区管理控制，并将其放置的更加合理，避免运输设备带FOUP运行时出现无法放置，以及放置不合理的问题，以此提高FOUP放置仓位的利用率问题。如图1所示，本申请实施例提供一种分区管理方法，可以应用在终端或服务器上，终端包括但不限于是各种个人计算机、笔记本电脑、智能手机、平板电脑和便携式智能设备，服务器可以用独立的服务器或者是多个服务器组成的服务器集群来实现，在一个实施例中，将FOUP的分区管理方法应用在MCS系统中，在终端或服务器运行方法包括以下步骤：
步骤101，接收晶圆盒运输请求，晶圆盒运输请求携带有目标晶圆盒的属性信息、当前存储仓信息、目标存储仓信息以及目标晶圆盒输送至目标存储仓的预设时间段。
晶圆盒为可以传送不同类型晶圆的晶圆传送盒(FOUP)。属性信息可以包含晶圆盒所属的优先级信息，可以采用数值或文字等进行标识，例如，在一个实施例中，属性信息可以分为Un-Know、Common、Standard、HotLot、Empty-Clean-A-Free等。对应的目标存储仓的存储区域优先级也可以分为Un-Know、Common、Standard、HotLot、Empty-Clean-A-Free等；或者对应的目标存储仓的存储区域优先级也可以分为Un-Know、Common等，Common存储区域可以存储Common、Standard、HotLot、Empty-Clean-A-Free四种优先级晶圆盒。属性信息还可以包含晶圆盒所属的优先级信息以及晶圆盒所需容量数值等。晶圆盒运输请求中的目标存储仓可以根据晶圆处理工艺、晶圆传送盒(FOUP)中晶圆的类型进行选择。服务器接收晶圆盒运输请求，可以根据当前晶圆适用的工艺获取对应操作台附近的存储仓信息。当前存储仓信息、目标存储仓信息可以是存储仓对应的物理地址信息。
服务器接收晶圆盒运输请求，晶圆盒运输请求携带有目标晶圆盒的属性信息、当前存储仓信息、目标存储仓信息以及目标晶圆盒输送至目标存储仓的预设时间段。
步骤102，根据属性信息获取目标存储仓的目标状态信息，目标状态信息 包含目标存储仓的物理区域的存储信息。
目标状态信息包含目标存储仓的物理区域的存储信息，该存储信息包含当前目标存储仓中存储的晶圆盒相关信息，晶圆盒相关信息可以包含存储时间段、存储容量、运输设备等诸多信息。服务器根据属性信息获取目标存储仓的目标状态信息。
步骤103，根据属性信息和目标状态信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域。
服务器根据属性信息和目标状态信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域。服务器可以判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在空闲，也可以根据属性信息中的容量信息和目标状态信息中的容量判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域。
步骤104，当判定为否时，获取与目标存储仓的区域设置信息以及各设置区域内的区域存储信息。
当服务器判定为是时，服务器控制传输系统在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。当服务器判定为否时，服务器获取与目标存储仓的区域设置信息以及各设置区域内的区域存储信息。
步骤105，根据区域设置信息和区域存储信息重新进行区域设置，并在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。
服务器也可以根据平衡规则，基于区域设置信息和区域存储信息重新进行区域设置，并在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。服务器可以将与目标晶圆盒属性信息对应的存储区域进行扩充，并将在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到扩充后的目标存储仓内。平衡规则可以是获取与晶圆传送盒(FOUP)的属性信息对应的工艺流程，并根据工艺流程确定各对应的晶圆传送盒占比，并基于操作台附近的存储仓的存储容量分配晶圆传送盒数量。
上述分区管理方法，可以根据晶圆盒的优先级以及晶圆对应的处理工艺平衡目标存储仓中存储的晶圆盒情况，并当输送线上晶圆盒的属性发生变化时，可以及时变更输送存储仓，不仅保证晶圆盒输送的准确性，而且也保证晶圆盒可以被存储在对应的工作台附近的存储仓中。
在一个实施例中，目标状态信息还包含目标存储仓的逻辑区域的存储信息，根据属性信息和目标状态信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域，包括：根据属性信息和物理区域的存储信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域；当判定为否时，根据属性信息和逻辑区域的存储信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的逻辑区域是否存在可用区域，并输出判定结果。
目标存储仓的物理区域是指在一个目标存储仓中为这些区域预留了实际的货架数量；目标存储仓的逻辑区域是指在一个目标存储仓中每个区域理论上可以设置的货架数量，该货架数量可以大于该区域实际对应的物理货架数量，但单个逻辑区域货架数量不能大于目标存储仓总的物理货架数量，例如，当存储仓实际的物理货架数为100个，均匀分配给5个优先级的存储区域，每个存储区域均可设置存放数量的上下限，其中，每个存储区域对应的物理区域的货架数量为20，但逻辑区域的上限可以设置为20～100，当在预设时间段晶圆盒数量大于货架数量时，服务器可以重设各区域对应的货架，也可以根据晶圆盒所在的时间段重新调配在物理区域内存储的晶圆盒。逻辑区域依据FOUP(晶圆盒)的属性进行划分，其目的在于平衡每个存储仓中不同FOUP种类的数量。
目标状态信息还包含目标存储仓的逻辑区域的存储信息。服务器根据属性信息和物理区域的存储信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的物理区域是否存在可用区域。当服务器判定为是时，服务器控制传输系统在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。当判定为否时，服务器根据属性信息和逻辑区域的存储信息判断在预设时间段内目标存储仓的逻辑区域是否存在可用区域，并输出判定结果。
在其中一个实施例中，目标存储仓还设置有缓存区域，当目标存储仓的存储信息未及时更新，导致误判定目标存储仓存在可用区域时，在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓的缓存区域内。
服务器可以设置传输存储晶圆盒的缓存区域作为与目标晶圆盒对应的临时存储仓，待目标存储仓空闲时，将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓中。缓存区域的目的在于当传输过程中用于中转的PORT口被占用时需要临时将传送的 FOUP存放在一个缓存区域中用于等待PORT口空闲，再进行传输，用于中转等待的区域即为缓存区域；二，作为预留区使用，在生产过程中，一个晶圆盒从A机台加工完成后需要传送至B机台进行后续加工，而B机台正在生产，那此时可以先将晶圆盒放置在B机台附近的存储仓中，该位置即为预留区，待B机台加工完成当前的晶圆盒后，再从存储器中将晶圆盒传输给B机台，其目的在于减少传输时间，减少机台空闲时间。
在上述实施例中，对于传送中FOUP可以提供物理区域、逻辑区域以及缓存区域，通过不同属性条件的设置，及时对输送路径等进行调整并平衡每个仓库存储，将FOUP进行调配更加合理。
在其中一个实施例中，当根据区域设置信息和区域存储信息无法重新进行区域设置时，方法还包括：获取与目标存储仓相邻的临时存储仓的临时状态信息，并根据该临时状态信息和目标状态信息筛选出目标存储仓和临时存储仓中可相互移交的移交晶圆盒清单信息；根据移交晶圆盒清单信息移交目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的晶圆盒，并在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。
当根据区域设置信息和区域存储信息无法重新进行区域设置时，此时目标存储仓的逻辑区域或物理区域的数量已达到该类型存储区域的上限值，服务器还可以获取与目标存储仓相邻的临时存储仓的临时状态信息，并根据该临时状态信息和目标状态信息筛选出目标存储仓和临时存储仓中可相互移交的移交晶圆盒清单信息；服务器根据移交晶圆盒清单信息移交目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的晶圆盒，并在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内。
临时状态信息和目标状态信息所囊括的参数基本一致。移交晶圆盒清单信息可以包含晶圆盒标识、被交换前后晶圆盒在不同存储仓存储的位置信息、预计存储时间段、被交换的时间段等。
在其中一个实施例中，根据移交晶圆盒清单信息移交目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的晶圆盒，并在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内，包括：基于移交晶圆盒清单，将目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的第一批移交晶圆盒在预设时间段前进行移交存储；在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内； 基于移交晶圆盒清单，将目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的第二批移交晶圆盒在预设时间段后进行移交存储，实现目标存储仓和临时存储仓中存储晶圆盒的复位。
服务器不仅可以根据移交晶圆盒清单对晶圆盒进行移交存储，也可以在目标存储仓空闲后，将目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的第二批移交晶圆盒在预设时间段后进行移交存储，实现目标存储仓和临时存储仓中存储晶圆盒的复位，从而避免晶圆盒被取出时的异常。服务器基于移交晶圆盒清单，将目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的第一批移交晶圆盒在预设时间段前进行移交存储；在预设时间段内将目标晶圆盒运输到目标存储仓内；基于移交晶圆盒清单，将目标存储仓和临时存储仓中的第二批移交晶圆盒在预设时间段后进行移交存储，实现目标存储仓和临时存储仓中存储晶圆盒的复位。
在一个实施例中，如图2所示，提供了一种分区管理装置，装置包括请求接收模块201、存储信息获取模块202、区域判断模块203、区域信息获取模块204和区域重设模块205。
